Chapter three hundred and sixteen dark alleys and dark battles
If a man speaks and acts in a bad way, then this man will be very destructive to women. "If a man is not bad, a woman will not love him." This sentence is true at all times and in all countries.
Huangfu Sisi felt that he was becoming more and more curious about Gu Qing, and found Gu Qing more and more interesting.
She had interacted with Gu Qing many times, and Gu Qing's words would often make her half-infuriated, but when she was alone, she would often giggle out loud when she recalled what Gu Qing had said.
As for the bad things Gu Qing has done...tonight's auction was really bad.
Wang Gui was arranged to pretend to be a nouveau riche, constantly inciting hatred and raising prices, which made real businessmen crazy. Under Wang Gui's fanning, how many of the shops sold were bought rationally, and how many were bought rationally.
They bought it just to get angry with Wang Gui. Only the businessmen themselves knew it.
A deputy envoy who held great power in Anxi and was supposed to be majestic could actually do bad things to such an extent. Huangfu Sisi's eyes were really opened tonight.
Getting closer to Gu Qing gradually ceased to be a task she had to complete, and became something she couldn't help but do.
"What kind of person is your Marquis? Was he so... bad when he was in Chang'an?" Huangfu Sisi stood under the tree. In the darkness, only her eyes could be seen, shining like stars.
Wang Gui said seriously: "Young lady's words are wrong. What's wrong with the Marquis? The Marquis has been as kind to us as a mountain..."
Huangfu Sisi rolled his eyes at him and said, "What I'm talking about is whether your Marquis often did evil to others like this when he was in Chang'an."
Wang Gui suddenly laughed: "Why don't you ask the Marquis face to face about this question? I don't dare to talk nonsense anyway, haha."
The three of them were about to say goodbye when a shrill scream suddenly came from the silent night.
Wang and Gui suddenly felt their scalps go numb, and they subconsciously arched their bodies and quickly surrounded Huangfu Sisi. After waiting for a while, there was no movement. Wang and Gui exchanged glances, turned around and said to Huangfu Sisi quickly: "Girl.
Lock the front and back doors, and don’t come out no matter what sound you hear!”
Huangfu Sisi was so frightened that her face turned pale, but Wang Gui and the other three quickly tiptoed towards the direction of the screams.
The screams occurred in the newly built market, which was not far from Fuzhi Inn, so Wang Gui and the others could hear the sound.
When Wang Gui and three others arrived, they saw a corpse lying in front of a shop in the market, with an arrow stuck in the middle of his chest. The person who was hit by the arrow was a businessman, and he and Wang Gui had exchanged prices just now at the inn.
The businessman was already dead, and there was a pool of blood on the ground. Several clerks were hurriedly covering the businessman's chest, trying to stop the bleeding. However, Wang Gui and the others had experience in killing people on the battlefield. They could tell the businessman with just a glance.
He is dead and cannot be revived.
Looking at the arrow on the merchant's chest, Wang Gui narrowed his eyes and winked at the other two guards. The three of them left the scene and found a remote corner.
Wang Gui said seriously: "This man died strangely. Did you see the arrow on his chest?"
Another person said: "I saw it. It was obvious that the businessman was shot from a long distance. The depth of the arrow should be within twenty steps."
Wang Gui said coldly: "I just remembered one thing. When the Tubo invaded, the Anxi army was ordered to march out. On the night they camped by the Chihe River, an assassin shot an arrow at the commander-in-chief's tent. Do you still remember?
?"
One of the guards nodded and said: "Remember, our Marquis was almost implicated that time. At that time, many Anxi Army generals suspected that it was the Marquis who instigated it."
Wang Gui pointed to the corpse of the businessman in the distance. More and more people had gathered around the corpse to watch the fun.
"This businessman was also hit by an arrow, and the person who shot the arrow also shot it secretly. I think it is the same person."
"What exactly is this man trying to do? The first time is to shoot an arrow at Gao Jieshuai's handsome tent, and the second time is to assassinate an ordinary businessman. What is his purpose?"
Wang Gui said coldly: "Although the first time I shot an arrow at Gao Jieshuai's handsome tent, in the end it was the Marquis who was wrongfully accused. This time I killed a businessman. It's hard to say whether it was aimed at the Marquis again. If this happens again,
If the Marquis is implicated, it will be troublesome. The Marquis attaches great importance to the development of business in Qiuci City and cannot be ruined by this matter..."
One of the guards said: "What should we do? Let's report it to the Marquis as soon as we return to camp."
Wang Gui said calmly: "You should go back to the camp immediately to report. Wang Laosan and I will be walking around nearby."
The guard named Wang Laosan said: "What are we going to do? Are you looking for the murderer?"
Wang Gui said softly: "If he kills a businessman, he will immediately attract the officers and soldiers of the Jiedu Envoy. But if I kill someone, whether I am guilty or arrogant, I will not be too far away from the scene. Besides, he will also stay
There is a flaw..."
"What flaw?"
"You didn't look carefully at the businessman's feet just now. The businessman did not move after being hit by the arrow, but fell straight down, so it is easy to judge the direction of the arrow..."
Wang Gui paused, then suddenly pointed his finger in the dark northwest direction, and said: "That should be the direction from which the arrow shot, and that area is a residence. The murderer may be hiding in the residence, or he may use another identity.
Live in a private residence, Wang Laosan, if you are brave enough, come with me to have a look."
Wang Laosan curled his lips and said, "Although I don't really believe your nonsense, I have plenty of courage. Let's go."
Asking another bodyguard to rush back to the camp to report, Wang Gui and Wang Laosan crouched like two leopards hunting for prey, quietly sneaking towards the residential houses in the northwest.
After walking for a while, Wang Laosan suddenly looked bitter and said softly: "You bastard, what kind of murderer did you trick me to find? Wang Gui, let me ask you, you and I didn't bring any weapons. Even if we find the murderer, what can you do to him?"
?”
Wang Gui smiled nonchalantly and said: "A wooden stick found anywhere can be considered a weapon. We are not afraid of it on the battlefield. Why are we afraid of this hidden murderer?"
Wang Laosan cursed and said: "I really don't know what kind of evil has happened to you. You have to find some murderer in the middle of the night. Can't you wait until the government comes to investigate during the day? We are personal guards. We only need to protect the Marquis..."
Wang Gui said coldly: "The Marquis attaches great importance to the development of business in Qiuci City. If the murderer cannot be caught early, one businessman will be killed today and another businessman will be killed tomorrow. If this continues, how many businessmen will dare to stay in Qiuci City?"
City? Aren’t all the plans of the Marquis come to nothing? Since you and I receive the Marquis’s military salary, we should also work harder for the Marquis. I really think that the personal guards just accompany the Marquis around and have nothing to do.
You?"
Wang Laosan was stunned for a moment, then said angrily: "You're right, I didn't think much about it. Let's go. When we find the murderer, I will crush his balls and torture me most of the night. I'm a bastard!"
As they walked, the two of them paid attention to their steps and quickly found two wooden sticks to hold in their hands. At this time, the two of them had reached the alley of a residential house.
The houses in Kucha City are quite exotic. They all have domed square walls and look a bit like tents. There are gaps between the houses. The alleys are messy and there are no street lights. In the darkness, the two of them quietly sneaked and walked.
Very hard.
Wang Gui has always maintained a high degree of vigilance, looking around at the environment every step he takes. At this situation, he has quickly changed his mentality and only thinks that he is on the battlefield, which is just a silent but thunderous battle.
of street fighting.
No one knew which dark corner of the dark alley would suddenly shoot out a fatal arrow. The last position of Wang and Gui was back to back, and each step was thrilling, as if they were dancing on the tip of the god of death.
After sneaking around in the residence for a long time, Wang Laosan finally couldn't bear it anymore and complained: "Wang Gui, you bastard, have you figured it out? He is obviously a vulgar martial artist who has become a spirit. Is the murderer in this residence? Maybe?
After killing someone, they would have gone home and slept long ago."
Wang Gui also wavered in his judgment at this time. It was the first time in his life that he had to solve a case, and he only judged the direction based on the angle of the arrow struck by the businessman. At this time, he also began to doubt whether his judgment was wrong. Perhaps,
This kind of thing is only something that only scholars can do. If the Marquis is here tonight, there will be no mistake. All I have to do is follow the Marquis to catch the thief.
Wang Gui smiled bitterly and was about to give up when he suddenly heard a "squeak" in the darkness. Wang Gui and Wang Laosan's scalps went numb and they fell to the ground like lightning. They only heard a whooshing sound above their heads and a cold wind.
Brush over.
Looking back, I saw an arrow stuck in the earthen wall behind the two of them, and the feathers at the tail of the arrow were still trembling slightly.
Wang and Gui were both shocked and overjoyed.
They knew that they had found the right place. The murderer was nearby, and he had been watching them coldly in the dark, waiting for the opportunity to strike. The "squeak" just now, if Wang Gui and Wang hadn't experienced the battle,
, I really can’t necessarily tell that it is actually the sound when the bow string is pulled apart.
The two exchanged glances quickly in the darkness, and then rolled on the spot like lightning. After rolling to another corner, they leaned against the wall and took a deep breath.
The lingering fear on Wang Laosan's face was not gone, but he squeezed out a smile and cursed in a low voice: "You bastard, you really fooled me and brought me to hell. Wang Gui, you owe me a huge debt!"
"
Wang Gui had just come back from the hell gate. If he had been slower just a moment, the fatal arrow would have shot him right through. At this moment, Wang Gui also looked happy to have survived the disaster, panting heavily and laughing and cursing: "
Okay, I owe you a favor, I will burn more paper for you during Qingming Festival next year..."
Wang Laosan said: "What should we do now? Are we really going to fight the murderer with two wooden sticks? I can see that the arrow just now was very vicious. The other party is a master, and we may not be able to kill him."
Wang Gui lowered his head and looked at the wooden stick in his hand, and said with a wry smile: "What else should I do? How can I explain to the Marquis if I run back in despair? Say we escaped before the battle? I can't afford to embarrass anyone anyway, and I will do it even if I risk my life.
Bite off a piece of that bitch's meat."
Wang Laosan whispered: "You have to have a plan even if you fight hard, but now I can't even figure out his location..."
"Just make him make some noise."
"How to lead?"
Wang Gui knelt down and picked up a few stones from under his feet and said, "Stop the grass and scare the snake, do you understand?"
After speaking, a stone was quickly thrown out of his hand and hit the earth wall hard, making a dull sound. Almost the next moment, an arrow hit the wall where the stone had just hit.
